Quote:Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna Overture
Franz von Suppé (1819 -1895)
Franz von Suppé's. father hoped his son would study law, and sent him to Paris for that purpose. But exposure to the artistic climate there merely reinforced his musical interests instead. After his father died, Franz and his mother moved from Dalmatia to Vienna., where he enrolled in the Conservatory. It proved to he a wise choice, for Suppe' fashioned a successful, popular and profitable career.
